On Saturday, we set out early in the day to measure the trees in a particular acre of the forest. An acre is 208 feet wide x 208 feet long. It took us 6 hours to survey the trees in half an acre. I was working in a three-person team with two college professors, Alice and Jeff. We made an excellent team and managed to learn many of the tree names.
Can you guess what I might be doing in these pictures?
Once again, it was surprisingly dry. It hasn't rained in two days. The wildlife, especially the reptiles and amphibians, stay hidden when it is dry. I did, however, see a few anolis lizards. Here is one posing for me!

I think you are probabky studying the trees and their fallen leaves so you can figure out what kind they are. The leaves hepl you do this depending on their shape.

I am in deed measuring trees... but what about the trees am I measuring? And how do you think the instrument I am holding helps?
I think that you are measuring the height of the tree and the instrument is helpful because it tells you at what angle you are while facing it and based on how far away you are you could calculate the height of the tree. that lizard is cool, how big can they get?
I agree with sarah!!!!
